Brief Answer:
Need course of corticosteroids....

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,

I am sorry for the situation you are in.

As the spots keep breaking out, to my opinion, you need to take steroid injections to relieve the symptoms. You need a prescription from your doctor for that. After a few days of injection, I advise to take oral corticosteroids to prevent further break outs.

You can discuss my suggestions with your doctor!
Wish fast recovery!
